Chapter 7

After Kyo returned to her body the group of three went straight back to Orihime's apartment. Rukia was being extremely wary around the other girl, not trusting her because of what she was. The thing that neither she nor Ichigo could understand was if Kyo was an arrancar, and her spiritual pressure was definitely that of an arrancar no matter how strange it was, why didn't she have a broken hollow mask? There had been absolutely no peice of mask anywhere on her face, and it couldn't have been hidden by her hat because she had thrown the hat off when she ran to heal Ichigo.

Kyo could feel mistrust and a slight bit of malice radiating from Rukia. She understood fully though, after all she had been hiding a pretty big secret from these people and they were her friends after all. Not to mention Rukia did happen to be a soul reaper. I promise guys I'll explain everything when we get back to Orihime's place.

"Oh hey! You're all back!" Orihime exclaimed as the three walked into the living room. Kyo smiled at Orihime, Chad and Uryu as she sat next to her bag. Rukia kept her gaze on the girl as she sat a few feet away, Ichigo sat between the two just to make sure they didn't get into a fight of some sort. "Okay Kyo, now you have to start explaining." The orange haired teen stated, fixing his gaze on the violet eyed girl. The other three in the room, who hadn't witnessed Kyo fighting the hollow stared blankly at her. Kyo sighed and dropped her gaze to the floor. She really didn't want to tell them, but now that Ichigo and Rukia knew there really wasn't any choice.

With a nod she started, "Alright, I guess you can all tell I've been keeping things from you." Uryu gave her a knowing nod basically saying 'yeah, it wasn't hard to figure out.' Orihime butted in, "You didn't go to get your pyjamas did you? They're right there in your bag after all." The orange haired girl pointed to the pair of blue p.j. pants that were peeking out of Kyo's overnight bag. Kyo nodded sheepishly, she hadn't realized her bag had been open when she left. With a sigh she continued, "Well as Rukia and Ichigo now know I'm not exactly human, I'm an arrancar."

Gasps erupted from Orihime and Uryu, even Chad's eyes widened in surprise. Ichigo side glanced at Rukia and could see her eyebrow twitching slightly. The small soul reaper wanted so badly to drive her zanpak-to straight through the hollow girl, but she knew that Ichigo would stop her if she did. Rukia just couldn't understand why Ichigo was allowing this arrancar to explain herself, normally they would either kill the arrancar or send it back to Heuco Mundo. "However I'm not exactly an arrancar either." This got her a few 'wtf' glances. How could she be an arrancar yet not be an arrancar.

"I'm gonna have to start from my parents meeting. See my mother was human, she was spiritually aware and had some powers, mainly healing. That's why I was able to heal Ichigo. My father was an arrancar." Uryu gazed at her in thought, something she said had caught his attention. "You keep saying was, I take it your parents aren't alive anymore?" He asked, not meaning to be so blunt. Kyo's gaze dropped to the floor again as she shook her head. "My mother was attacked and killed by a hollow shortly after I was born. My father killed the hollow then a little while after took me to live in Heuco Mundo. I'm only half arrancar so I don't have a broken mask or hollow hole. These things made me stand out so we made a fake mask and said that my hollow hole was hidden by my clothes. Dad trained me to fight and to use the arrancar powers I do have untill I turned seven. That was when it was discovered that I was human born and the other arrancars frowned upon that. They hunted down my father and destroyed him. I was able to escape to the world of the living where I was found and adopted by an elderly couple. I lived with them until a few months ago when they were killed by a hollow and then I moved here."

"So you're not on Aizen's side?" Rukia had finally chosen to speak up. Kyo gave the girl a curious look, "Who's Aizen?" The others stared at her dumbfound. "You don't know who Aizen is?" Ichigo asked. Kyo shook her head, "I've never heard that name before. Why, should I know him?" Rukia gave the arrancar a suspicious look. We can't be sure if she's lying or not. She could be working for Aizen and be spying on us for him. The dark haired soul reaper was really hating that she'd befriended this girl and didn't want to trust her. Although, she had such a clueless look on her face that Rukia was beggining to think that maybe Kyo really didn't know who Aizen was.

"Well, wether or not you're here as a spy for Aizen I need to report you to the Soul Society immediately." Rukia stated as she rose from her spot on the floor. Kyo gave her a horrified look, "Do you really have to?" Kyo was absolutely terrified at what the other soul reapers would do to her. Rukia nodded, "If I don't let them know and they find out we could all be executed for harbouring an arrancar." The others looked from Kyo to Rukia, they had known Kyo for close to a week now and none of them wanted to believe that she could be dangerous. "But if you tell them that Kyo is half arrancar won't they want to kill her?" Orihime asked, the poor girl looked as if she were on the brink of tears. Rukia nodded, "They may, it all depends on Head Captain Yamamoto." Chad spoke up next, "What if you explained to them that she isn't a threat and that she's not a spy for Aizen?" Rukia really didn't want to, but arguing would be a waste of time, especially if Ichigo and Uryu got into it next.

The small soul reaper shook her head. "Fine," She sighed, "I'll see what I can do. Maybe we can have someone monitor her to make sure she's telling the truth and not here as a spy." Kyo felt a little put out at being talked about as if she weren't in the room, but she wouldn't dare speak up for fear of making Rukia even more angry. Without another word Rukia left, and an awkward silence fell over the room. Kyo looked to Ichigo who had been staring intently at her the entire time. With a slight blush tinting her cheeks she asked, "So who is Aizen?" "Aizen was a captain of one of the thirteen court gaurd squads in the soul society. He turned out to be a traitor who wanted this certain device that could help him create arrancars and build an army of them." Uryu explained. Kyo nodded in mild understanding. "He had even kidnapped Orihime to use her powers, luckily we defeated him." Ichigo said, distaste clear in his voice. Kyo looked at the orange haired girl horrified.

Orihime merely smiled and pounced on Kyo. "O-Orihime, you're not angry that I'm an arrancar? They kidnapped you to use you!" Kyo exclaimed. This girl didn't seem at all repulsed by the fact that Kyo was a monster much like the ones that had taken her. "Don't be silly, you're our friend Kyo. You are nothing like the Espada and other arrancar that are under Aizen's control." Orihime's smile was so bright and cheerful that Kyo found herself smiling as well. "Hey Kyo, what's that?" Orihime asked suddenly, brushing Kyo's bangs to the side revealing a blue sun like marking with a moon and star in the center of it. Instinctively Kyo pulled back, her hand going to her forehead were the strange marking was. "Well, some arrancar have markings on them and I think that this is mine. It's been there since I was born and it's also there in my spirit form. Luckily my hair covers it, people would wonder don't you think?" The small girl laughed. Ichigo turned her head so he could look at the mark too. This made Kyo blush yet again, though the orange haired strawberry didn't seem to notice.

"I remeber when my dad went to check if you had a fever and you pulled back, that was so he wouldn't see this right?" He asked and Kyo nodded. Just then a thought hit Kyo. "Hey I forgot to mention one other ability I have, I mean there's my arrancar powers and healing but there's something else I can do." She pulled her sketchbook out of her bag and flipped it open to one of the pages. She turned it to face the others and they all gasped. On the page was an exact picture of Orihime and her power, "I can draw pictures of certain people and tell if they have powers and what those powers are, Orihime's are time rendition or something like that." She turned to another page to show a picture of Chad with the armour that formed on his arm, next was a picture of Uryu shooting arrows of spirit energy from a giant bow, "Uryu is a quincy, and then there was Ichigo. I was really confused at first, I had no idea what to make of you unitll I realized that you're a vizard and have hollow powers." She flipped to a page that seemed kind of crowded, Ichigo could pick himslef out no problem, then there was his other self, and the hollow mask. Kyo had drawn all three to perfect detail, it was almost as if she had seen his mask and met the hollow herslef. Of course all the pictures were incrediblly accurate. It was kind of creepy actually.

"It's not a very reliable talent though, it only works if you're spiritually aware and have powers." Kyo explained with a wide yawn, "You know, you guys just found out that I'm technically you're enemy but you seem to not have a problem with it." Ichigo turned to her as if the reason was clear as day, "I'm sure that if you had any intent on killing us you would have already made a move, plus you're to much of a klutz to be a spy. Also you've been pretty intent on hiding your spiritual pressure from us, the soul society and that would have to include Heuco Mundo." Kyo nodded at Ichigo's logic. Though she was quite sure they didn't completely trust her and she was quite fine with that. "Thank you all." She smiled at the group cheerfully.

Uryu had then suddenly remembered something. "So you were able to see Grimmjow that day." Kyo gave the quincy a puzzled look. "The blue haired arrancar that was standing outside the shool, I think it was your second day here." Uryu explianed. Realization dawned on the arrancar's face, "So that's his name, yeah I saw him earlier today when Ichigo, Rukia, and I were hanging out." Ichigo's eyes flashed in anger. "Why the hell is he here?" The teen asked through gritted teeth. Of course no one had the answer.

Orihime yawned widely then and stretched as she suggested, "It's really late, maybe we should go to bed." The others nodded as they went to get changed and set up their sleeping arrangments, and it wasn't long before they were all fast asleep, all thoughts of arrancars and hollows out of their minds for the time being.

"Oh my gosh! Akira! Dad help! I'm so sorry Akira, I didn't mean too!" She cried as she held her best friend bleeding in her arms. She kept calling his name over and over as her father rushed over to try and stop the bleeding. "Please don't die Akira."

Kyo woke in a cold sweat. She was greatful that she had been able to stifle the scream that now clung to her dry throat. I haven't had that dream in a while. She thought as her breathing returned to normal. Just then a strong pressure swept over her knocking the breath from her lungs once more. The spiritual pressure was so immense Kyo felt her pesquisa was being overwhelmed. The young arrancar turned to see where it was coming from. Of course she wasn't surprised to find it was Ichigo, that same spirit energy had overwhelmed her that first day, causing her to faint right in front of him. Something was wrong about it this time though. The spiritual pressure was full of malice, and intwined with fear, Kyo could feel that Ichigo was having a nightmare of some sort.

She crawled over to him calling softly so as not to wake the others. "Ichigo, wake up Ichigo." He didn't seem to hear, not that Kyo expected him to. So she reached out to gently shake him awake, but as she touched his shoulder darkness took over her completely and she collapsed beside the orange haired teen, still clutching his shoulder tightly.

D-F: Oh my, that's a lot to find out about Kyo in one chapter! So she's half arrancar huh? Yeah sorry about my characters being halfers, I like making my characters halflings. Also sorry if this chapter's slightly lame, I was up all night and finished this from like 4ish to 6ish a.m. Hope you enjoy it anyway, and what's up with the ending? Find out next chapter!
